"But the one flaw is that many channels are not producing original content. Cartoon Network is a prime example of rebroadcasting. They make money selling the same shows over and over and over again. Are you going to pay for a show you have seen or already recorded?"
Oh no! A scheme that might result in more orignal TV? Can't have that now can we.
"And of course, it is illegal in Wisconsin for teachers to strike."
In 2001 in Ireland the secondary school teachers (secondary school = like high school) striked to get better pay. I was in 5th year then (6th year is final year, I was 17). We were pissed off that we were losing schol days so us students went on strike. Once or twice we just walked out of school at the start and went to other schools in town to get more students and marched down the main street. It was great.
The article lists the following games as popular with women: Role-playing games - Final Fantasy
Narrative adventures - Legend of Zelda
Easy to pick up driving sims - Colin MacRae Rally
Puzzle adventures - Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
Quick-fire arcade puzzlers - Tetris
Life simulations - The Sims
Those games are popular with men. They are not 'girly' games, they are good games. Women like good games?! Wow I'm shocked. You mean there is no magical formula for making a game popular with women?! We need skill and talent to make a popular game?!
One might argue that women are oversexualized in games, but aren't men too?
Women are over sexualised in nearly all media. Look at the ads in women's magazines. Perfect flawless bodies. Same everywhere. Expect certain niche pornography.
More like: The minor can't get the beer himself. He talks to the adult who knows other minors with beer, and tels the minor where the other minors are. Hell, the adult didn't even pay for the beer.
"Two reasons -- one, it's hard to get producers to agree to the format, as there's no protection in it for them; two, it can be difficult to convince buyers to buy an unprotected format because they can simply get a copy from a friend/p2p"
I can understand the record producers not liking it, but why would a customer like DRM?
"I can get this song for free from kazaa and it can play anywhere, but this song costs money and can't play on my mp3 player and I can't copy it. Wow! It must be way better"
Too true.
I've only been using Linux for a year, yet due to by habit of poking it, I've learned so much. When I broke my broadband connection I learned what routing , subnet masks and gateways are.
Why does everything computer related now have to be so concerned with 'piracy'? Why is it suddenly everyone's job to patrol everything you do to make sure you haven't commited the heinous crime of copying a cd? It's a sad state for the world to be in.
For the record British (and Irish) TV is different from continental TV in terms of nuduty. There are very few topless women on British TV compared to continential TV.
I read about a case that extended the 'no unconsented recording' rule to IM in some state, however it depends on the IM client/protocal. If you are using an IM client that doesn't do automatic loggin (ie it's off by default), then you have to ask before recording. If the IM client has recording turned on by default then you are allowed record. The logic being that users of it should know what they are using, and hence by using it they are aware of it's logging and agreeing to it.
I agree. I frequently hear people saying one advantage of Unix over windows, security wise, is that users can't change system files and so can't mess up their PC.
That's fine for sysadmins, but if you're primarily a user (like most people using desktops), then your home directory is much, much more important than the system files. It's no bother to reinstall the OS and applications, but if all your files are gone, that's a huge PITA.
It should be off when you turn on your phone. Most people don't change from the default settings. Better to be secure by default than the slight inconvience of turning it on.
An article in a recent Linux Format was about reverse engineering. One of the provisions of UK law is that reverse engineering for interoperationally needs is never illegal regardless of any contract. Thus the bnetd case wouldn't have gotten to court in the UK.

I think men have been exploding in pornos for a long time now,

"There's demand because it's a good product."
People who like to look a child porn think it's a ood product. It's all subjective.
Roger Moore came to speak at my college. A friend of mine got him to sign a photo of sean connery. http://www.nekothekitty.net/cusp/daily.php?date=04 1108
"But you can't practically generate two MP3s or JPEGs that have *meaningful* differences, yet hash to the same value."
Not yet, but how long ago did people say that you couldn't generate 2 documents that would have the same hash.

Blame the marketing department (again).

Waiting?

I'm suprised it's not higher. The PSP is new and is their only real competition, there's noone else. Where's the 25%?
I think that might be Kaepora Gaebora, the owl that frequently stars in Zelda games and gives hints to the game.
Now just imagine turning the Revolution around a seeing a huge big Pikachu grinning back at you!
Well the actual 'first' episodes (Serenity pt 1 & 2) were shown last. After that it was canceled. So yes, it was canceled after the first episodes.

In Europe
